A Nottingham church will be the venue for an "unforgettable gin experience" later this year. The Gin Society Festival will be visiting the city for the first time with a weekend in the medieval surroundings of St Mary's Church in the Lace Market.

Gin lovers will be able to sample more than 120 varieties of the popular spirit at the event in June.

Tickets are £12.50 and the price includes a free G&T, a souvenir Copa glass, tasting notes booklet and access to distillers' samples and masterclasses.

During the two-day extravaganza, local and national distillers will be showcasing their expertise and knowledge in a series of tasting sessions and masterclasses.

There will be three gin bars hosting the best of the world, British and fruit gins, plus a cocktail bar with expert mixologists. Other drinks including prosecco, rum, and beers will be available.

A voucher system will be in operation - gin, mixer and garnish will be £5 and cocktails £10. Each session will have live entertainment and visitors can buy street food and snacks.

The festival will be taking place on Friday June 28, from 6pm to 10.30pm, and Saturday June 29, with two sessions from noon to 4.30pm and 6pm to 10.30pm.
